Use the table to answer the question.
Outcomes K/
D
Frequency 120 140 105 135
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K, I, N, D. Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

• 0.28
• 0.45
0 0.72
• 0.24
First, we need to determine the total frequency of consonants on the wheel. From the table, we see that the frequencies of K and D are 120 and 135 respectively. Add these two frequencies together: 120 + 135 = 255.
Now, divide the total frequency of consonants by the total number of spins simulated by Xavier (500): 255/500 = 0.51.
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is:
• 0.51
no
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.
From the table, we see that the total frequency of consonants K and D is 120 + 135 = 255.
The total frequency for all outcomes is 500.
To find the probability of landing on a consonant on the next spin, we divide the frequency of consonants by the total frequency:
255/500 ≈ 0.51
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is:
• 0.51
thats the same answer as before
Apologies for the oversight. Let's revisit the calculation to ensure accuracy.
Frequency of consonants (K, D): 120 + 135 = 255
Total frequency of all outcomes: 500
To find the probability of landing on a consonant on the next spin, we divide the frequency of consonants by the total frequency:
255/500 = 0.51
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is indeed:
• 0.51
Thank you for your patience.
but u keep giving the same answer

I apologize for any confusion earlier. Thank you for your patience.
